Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers".

This resolution overturns a Department of Energy rule that set new energy‑saving standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator‑freezers, published on January 21, 2025. Because the rule is nullified, those new and amended efficiency standards will not take effect.

In plain terms, businesses and groups that use or sell commercial refrigeration equipment will not have to meet the new federal efficiency levels that were planned under that rule.

• Who is affected: Companies and organizations that make, sell, or use commercial fridges and freezers (like grocery stores, restaurants, and schools).
• What changes: The Department of Energy’s new efficiency standards for this equipment are canceled.
• When: The disapproval applies to the rule that was published on January 21, 2025.
